Tawny-breasted Parrotfinch (Erythrura hyperythra)
About the Tawny-breasted Parrotfinch
The tawny-breasted parrotfinch (Erythrura hyperythra) is a species of estrildid finch found in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. It is found in tropical montane moist forests, grassy clearings and forest edges. The IUCN has classified the species as being of least concern. It is emerald green, with an orange face and chest. Both sexes have a blue forehead patch, though this is brighter and more pronounced in males than in females. Five subspecies are currently recognised, though recent genetic analysis has shown that there may be a phylogenetic split between the Javan and Philippine populations. E. h. hyperythra – Found in Java with unconfirmed reports on Bali; E. h. microrhyncha – Found in Sulawesi; paler and duller with less blue on the head and is smaller
